Liverpool moved three points clear in the Premier League title race after beating Newcastle 4-2 in a pulsating game they dominated but only sealed late on.
Jurgen Klopp's relentless side posted 34 shots in the match to a backdrop of 7.27 of expected goals - the most created by one side in a Premier League game since Opta started recording the data in 2010.
But it was never a straightforward evening as Newcastle were level at 1-1 with 16 minutes to play after Alexander Isak had cancelled out Mohamed Salah's opener.
Salah had already missed a first-half penalty by that point while Darwin Nunez wasted two big chances from his eight shots at goal as Liverpool inexplicably failed to edge in front.
However, Curtis Jones finally put the hosts clear before Cody Gakpo doubled the cushion moments later.
Somehow, despite the one-sided nature of the stats, Newcastle got within one goal when Sven Botman headed home but Salah scored from the penalty spot after Diogo Jota controversially went down under challenge from Martin Dubravka with the goal gaping.

Salah should have put his side in front when Luis Diaz was brought down by Botman but his fourth miss in his last 10 spot-kicks left Liverpool goalless despite a dominant first half. Trent Alexander-Arnold somehow also managed to spoon the rebound over the crossbar from eight yards.
Sky Sports' Gary Neville:
"Liverpool are potential champions because of where they are. Their manager is a sensational manager who knows how to do it. And they have three or four players who are world class. Van Dijk, Salah and Alisson but you have to add Alexander-Arnold in, particularly on the ball he's sensational.

Jurgen Klopp says he owes the camera operator lots of different shots for finding his wedding ring on the Anfield pitch.
Jurgen Klopp speaking to Sky Sports:
"Mo is a goal scoring machine. It would have helped if he'd scored the first penalty to be 100 per cent honest, but it's all fine and that's how it is. He'll never stop doing these things.
"It's really extremely special… Darwin had a couple of chances as well. In this moment I would say 99.9 per cent of players would have tried to finish the situation off themselves but he squares the ball. It's really special, I have to say wow.
"It was a special game, special night."

Eddie Howe believes Martin Dubravka made minimal contact with Diogo Jota when Liverpool were awarded a penalty and Newcastle should've been given a penalty when Sean Longstaff was fouled in the box.
Eddie Howe speaking to Sky Sports:
"A lot happened. Action packed game. We're disappointed with the way we defended.
"I didn't think the second one was a penalty. And I did think Sean Longstaff's one before that was.
"It shouldn't be given. Martin has pulled his hand away. He's had two steps before going down. For me it's not a penalty. Even the first one the contact was so minimal. We feel hard done by.
